He sailed out to chase the deer.
And gaily starts with hound and horn.
Whose music, sounding shrill and clear
Awakes the echoes OF the morn.
Makes rocks and hills give back the sound,
And surely it were hard to tell,
Which music-that Of horn or hound
Sounds blither over rock and fell.

Wretched.

Are those whom a confirmed tendency to
biliousness, subject to the various and
changeful symptoms indicative of liver
complaint. Nausea, sick headache, con
supation, furred tongue, an unpleasant
breath, a dull or sharp pain in the neigh
boihood of the affected organ, impurity of
the blood and loss Of appetite, signalize it
as one of the most distressing, as it is one
of the most common, OF maladies. There
is, however, a benign specific for the dis
case and all its unpleasant manifestations.
1t is the concurrent testimony of the pub
lie and the medical profession that Hos

which achieves results speedily felt, tho-
rough and benign. Besides rectifying
liver disorder, it invigorates the feeble,
conquers kidney and bladder complaints,
and hastens the convalescence of those
recovering from embedding diseases.
Moreover, it is the grand specific for fever

Legal Companies VS.. Individual Lawyers

1tLah tpiilhhh'h f's W. -" -"
One OF the advantages Of legal education
is said to be that it keeps n nan from
going to law, and in this sense the newly
fiedged attorneys and counsellors of our bar
will, If they do not practice their profes-
sion, exercise a salutary effect upon them
selves. I am told by a prominent lawyer
that tie chances of II young man for prac-
tice in our great cities have been seriously
diminished by the business like methods
which have been introduced into the pro
fession. The examination Of titles, for
instance, is now to n considerable extent
performed by companies, and collecting
agencies do much Of the work which used
to give support to the mercantile lawyers.
But Webster's saying, that there Is room
enough at the top, is as true of the profes-
sion of tho law as it WINS in his day.-Bos'
ton Post.

A Sensible Mexican Governor.

A Sensible Mexican Governor.
NoGALEs, Ariz., March 5.-Governor
Torres, Of Sonora, Mex, and staff, accom-
panied by Col. Arvizu, arrived this morn
ing from Hermisello. Governor Torres,
on learning the particulars of the affair of
Thursday, censured the Mexican consul,
Senior LaBadle, in unmeasured terms for
not delivering Lieut.. Guitterez, who led
the soldiers in an attack on the Ameri-
cans, to the American authorities imme-
diately. Col. Arvizu, in order to clear
himself, stated to the governor that the
Americans were IN fault, whereupon the
governor said; THE Americans are not
in fault. They were not in Mexico fight
ing you; what business had your soldiers
in the United States armed and fight
ing the United States authorities ?" Gov
ernor Torres was highly indignant at the
action of the local Mexican authorities.
Upon learning that Senior Vasqucs, chief
of the Mexican police, had been removed
for refusing to take a hand against the
Americans, he Immediately reinstated
him. He was ordered to take a force Of
men and secure Lieut.. Gutierrez and turn
him over to the United States authori-
ties. The chief 6ereupon dispatched ten
men on horseback fully armed to scour
the country %andSbring Gutierrez dead or
alive. This, it is believed, will prevent
further trouble.

The Work of the Last Congress.

The Work of the Last Congress.
WASHINGTON, March 5.-The aggre-
gate of the appropriations bills passed by
the forty-ninth congress is about $780,
900, 900. The total is exclusive of the
sums appropriated by the river and harbor
and deficiency appropriation bills, which
failed enactment. The appropriations for
the current fiscal year aggregate $264,-
OO0,0 600, which amount would have
equalled by the appropriation voted by
the last congress, had the two bills men
toned become laws. Some idea OF the
manner in which the forty-ninth congress
wound up its work may be found in the
declaration of n member of long expert.
ence, hat the Record revealed the fact
that one.quarter Of the legislation of the
session had been enacted in the last few
legislative days. An enrolling clerk of 2
years experience said that never in that
length of time had he witnessed the haste
exhibited in the last twenty four hours Of
congress which had Just expired.

A Mind Reader Feat.

New YORK, March 5.-Washington
Irving Bishop, the famous mind reader,
gave a peculiarly trying test of his powers
this afternoon, at the Hoffman house, in
the presence Of members of the press,
theatrical people, doctors, lawyers and
others. He borrowed a brooch from Mrs.
Frank Leslie, which he gave to a commit
tee, four gentlemen previously chosen
from the audience, telling them to conceal
it anywhere within a mile of the hotel.
The committee drove off in a carriage,
returning after halt an hours absence.
Bishop was then blindfolded. This was
done by tying cotton batting around his
eyes. Then a black bag was put over his
head and fastened around his neck. A
two seated open carriage was waiting at
the door, and in this Mr.. Bishop and
three members of the committee took
seats and Bishop took the reins and drove
off through a great crowd of people and
vehicles, guiding the horse with remarka-
BILE dexterity. considering that he could
not use his eyes.
He drove over a devious route, and just
near the southeast corner of Gramercy
park stopped the vehicle and alighted, the
committee following. He crossed the
street and proceeded along East Gramer-
cy park until he reached the entrance to
Creamery Park hotel, into which he
turned without hesitation, walked into a
room and placed his hand on a vase which
rested upon a table. He held his hand
there for a few seconds and then request
ed that the vase be removed. His wish
was complied with and he picked up the
brooch from the table, where it had been
left bv the committee.

Death of a Distinguished Soldier

Death of a Distinguished Soldier.
WASHINGTON, March 5.-Lieut. Col.
R. N. Scott, Sd artillery, chief of the pub
LEGATION Office of war records of the rebel
lion, died at his residence in this city this
afternoon of pneumonia.
Col. Scott was the son of Rev. w. A.
Scott. a DISTINGUISHED minister of the
Presbyterian church. and was born at
Winchester, Tenn. He served with dis
tinction throughout the war, and at the
battle Of Gaines Mills was wounded and
brevetted for gallantry. Before the war
he was stationed on the Pacific coast, and
had at one time under his charge the
United States steamer Massachusetts, dur
ing the San Juan troubles In 1859. For
two years he was professor of military sci
ence at Faribault, MINI. Col. Scott was
the author of a very valuable digest of
military laws Of the United States, which
was published in 1872. The high appre-
citation of his ability and military knowl
edge was frequently shown by those most
familiar with his capacity, and notably by
his assignment as military secretary in
1878 to the joint commission of the two
houses of congress for the reorganization
of the army, under what was known as
the Burnside bill, and subsequently as
recorder of the court of inquiry in the
case of Judge Advocate General Swain.
But the most substantial recognition of all
was his selection as compiler of the rec
ords of the late war, to which duty he was
assigned on the LIST of January, 1878.
This is the most important publication of
the sort ever attempted, and the only one
of its kind ever made by any government,
except that by the German empire of the
Franco German war, which is in no wise
so complete as this will be- when finished.

An Effort to Save the River and
Harbor Bill.

WASHINGTON, March 5.-An effort has
been made since the adjournment OF con
gress to induce the president to sign the
river and harbor bill, and those interested
in securing this action assert that there is
nothing in the constitution to prevent his
doing so now if he is so disposed. Several
members of congress, including Repre-
sentatives Willis and Dibble, are of the
opinion that he has the power, and have
endeavored to persuade him to sign the
bill. Mr.. Willis said, to-day. that there
was nothing in the constitution which pro-
vided that the president should sign a bill
before IL o'clock on the 4th of March, or
that he should report the fact of his sig
nature to the house.
